Standard Game Analysis

I practiced my chess skills by seeing if I could beat Stockfish AI Level 1. I did in this forced mate! I thought Stockfish made a really bad move when it blocked my rook with a queen (near the end), but I later realized it was the only legal move.

There are a few interesting things in this game, feel free to analyze it and give me some feedback or advice. For some reason I keep on missing mates, did I miss one here?

Surprisingly, by following the opening principles I made some moves in the opening that Stockfish also thought was good. Cool coincidence!

I think there were a few tactics involved, and I won lots of material through my opponent's blunders and the position. Watching this game again, I think it's actually pretty exciting. I didn't even know my last move was a mate!

(I also hope I'm not posting too many games. I will not be posting any more for a while, and will focus on making a study for myself... so I can improve my chess.)

Thanks!

The checkmate at the end was nice, but on move 30 you could have played Qh5 to win the black queen.

And in fact 30.f4 would have been checkmate :)

Oh thanks, I don't have a sixth sense for tactics, even though I love finding and using them. :P

No, 30. f4 is met with 30. ... Kxe4, losing a pawn.

But the pawn is protected by the knight...

When Pawn took on b7 why didn't the queen capture on b7?

At the 27th move the best move to do after e4 was. Ne3. Check with bishop then xd5. Queen captured!

Well, I suppose Stockfish at level makes some blunders from to time. Of course, the queen should capture on b7.

*level 1

I do not think InnateAluminum should play againsnt a lower level stockfish. That was the biggest mistake of the game.
